It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This

Al has organised a fishing trip for himself at his boss's mountain cabin: a week all by himself doing nothing but fishing and drinking. Unfortunately for Al, Peggy and Marcy invite themselves along and spend the whole time arguing with each other. Meanwhile, Kelly and Bud have been left looking after Seven, but use the old 'parakeet' trick to keep him quiet: place a blanket over his head so that he thinks it is night and goes to sleep. Jefferson spends loads of Marcy's money to try and show her how little he was costing her before.

A totally forgettable episode, this one is short on laughs and features way too much of Seven (ie. He is in it!). Peggy and Marcy bickering isn't at all funny, and neither is the whole 'parakeet' ruse employed by the kids to control Seven. Marcie gives Jefferson a wedgie when she finds out what he has done -- unsophisticated humour, even by MWC standards.

This isn't the best episode of this show, with the plot hanging more than a little thin, especially the subplot with the kids.

Ed O'Neil carries things, as he always does, but I'd skip this episode next time.
